We take advantage of the off-season when there are fewer campers and enjoy almost 100% privacy and ridiculous northeast colors.

Also, we'll have our own camp chefs preparing our meals (plant-based, 100% nutritious) all weekend!

This may be the best weekend of your entire year. Spend Indigenous People's Day Weekend reclaiming your right to participate in this amazing experience.

WHAT TO EXPECT

Day 1: It’s a full day’s roadtrip with a supply stop. Arriving around 5p. Then a paddle out to our campground. Then camp set up, campfire, and chill from 7p on.
Day 2: Next day Sunday, breakfast around 9am. Then from around 10am to 6pm, you're trip hosts will take you to explore islands, tributaries, creeks, everything via canoe, using our campsite as our HQ.
Day 3: Monday, breakfast around 9am. Then we explore areas we missed and/or other activities like fishing, swimming, etc. Pack-up, paddle-out around 12p. Lunch pitstop before dropping you off.

The itinerary is fluid, meaning we get there when we get there, we get started when we get started, we wrap up when we wrap up.

You’re getting a roadtrip, mouth-watering food, fun times, good vibes, awesome activities, and a chance to unplug and relax on an (almost private) island in the middle of a gorgeous lake in heart of the Saranac region in upstate NY, surrounded by an explosion of fall colors, all hosted by our amazing Hosts! What. Are. You. Waiting. For. Sign up ASAP - this trip will sell out!
